Swingtown Audience Reviews

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
alexpinca-54-791848 It was our loss that the program was not picked up by any network...I can only assume it resulted from the yellow stripe syndrome. I suspect that there is fear on the part of the mainstream, that they might like the lifestyle. :) Many programs that went on to become big hits started slowly and this program would have made it big. Why HBO didn't pick it up is beyond me. It was a nostalgic walk through memories of yesteryear. If you're a boomer or almost a boomer, and not a prude, you will love this program. It is far more than a program on swinging...it is far more about the lives of boomer suburbia in the 70's and how a few found themselves looking for answers in the arms of their neighbor's wives and husbands. If you're not a prude...there will be something to enjoy for almost anyone of the boomer generation...the younger generation shouldn't watch to avoid jealousy of a simpler time, the swinging not-with-standing.
fx_gent As someone who grew up in the 1970s, I found the concept of Swingtown to be interesting. That said, I found the show to be extremely enjoyable and if someone, most likely not CBS, chooses to bring this back for another season, I would watch it. Once I got past the first episode or two, watching the development of the characters was fascinating and how they reflected the changing norms of the time, especially about sex and women's rights. I did catch a couple of errors in watching the series, as a few people have noted on here and I agree one hundred percent that if the show does come back, someone should get their facts straight. Overall, it was the best new show on television this summer and worth watching.
lvlycarmen I can state unequivocally that swinging did take place in the Midwest, contrary to what the people from Chicago are saying. My husband and I weren't swingers but we were approached by swingers and one of the hot spots for swinging was the Lake of the Ozarks. I find this show a refreshing change to the norm which is always going to cause controversy. I'm sure the network is receiving some public pressure to remove the show but as long as they stay out of the religious area, the show might stand a chance to survive for a while. And as an added bonus, they have managed to find some cute clothes from an era which seemed to be dominated by hideous fashion.
ruravin We have caught the first two episodes of this show and thoroughly enjoyed it.The characters are entertaining and we were drawn to several of them immediately. One of the other posters seems to be offended as they state this is not a fair portrayal of what went on in this neighbourhood in the 70's???????? This type of behaviour goes on in every neighbourhood around the world and who cares what consenting adults do anyways.... I will keep watching the show and hope that it is renewed for future seasons.
